10. Texas Easy Street Blues
Henry Thomas is magical. Some people call him pre-blues which
basically means that his songs go back a real long way.

11. Leavin Trunk
Something about the playing and singing of Son House inspired my approach to
this song, although the original version comes from Sleepy John Estes. Mike
Baytop plays the

this as a duet for a long time, and Im glad we were able to do it together
on this CD.

13. Kansas City
This song is the indirect result of one of Candy and Gails famous parties

Lightnin Wells was there and I taped him doing this song, which is where
I got the basis for the
version I do.
